In this episode of Lessons from Liberation, I reflect on what happens after the leap—when you’re in a new space, feeling unsure, and looking for a map that doesn’t exist. Drawing from my blog post The Game of Life on The Freedom Pages, I explore what it means to realize the answer was never meant to come from a map.

This episode is centered on trust and movement: getting out of the menu and into the game, remembering that our ancestors already walked this terrain and left wisdom for us to use now.

Drawing from reflection and ancestral memory, I share:

• Why the path only appears as you move
• How fear keeps us frozen instead of playing
• What it means to be guided instead of directed
• Why our ancestors want to be in relationship with us
• How their courage still teaches us how to live, love, and choose

This episode also includes reflection questions for you—whether you’re feeling isolated in a new chapter or standing at the edge of something unknown.

Journal with me:

• What examples do you have in your lineage of your ancestors’ courage and bravery?
• If you don’t know those stories, who can you ask?
• What would you try if you knew you couldn’t fail?
• How do you define failure? Is it failure if you learn and move forward?
• What permission are you waiting on to begin your new journey?
• Where do you feel fear in your body when you think about the unknown?
